I was ordering some parts recently and needed get the order to $50.00 to take advantage of free shipping. I noticed a metal flame trap insert for $4.00 so I went ahead and ordered it.

It arrived and fits nicely into my spare flame trap nipple, but I was holding off on installing it until I get some opinions on these things.

The insert itself is brass and looks sorta like a cross section of a loose bundle of paper or perhaps like the tobacco in a quality rolled cigar.

Is there any advantage to using a metal versus a plastic filter? I regularly remove and clean my trap (ever since a clogged trap blew my rear main seal in fall '04) I'm guessing that a metal filter will clean up better and last longer.

Any Pros or Cons with these things?
